ISOLATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF POLYHYDROXYALKANOATE (PHA)-PRODUCING, CELLULOLYTIC BACTERIA FROM MUNICIPAL WASTEWATER

isolation and identification of new polyhydroxyalkanoate (pha) producing bacteria from an extreme environment

Isolation, Screening and Characterization of Hyaluronidase Producing Bacteria

      Hyaluronidase has a panoramic use in biotechnology processes and therapy due to its therapeutic, pathophysiological, physiological and biological importance. Since much of the preparations of hyaluronidases are from animal source (bovine and ovine testicular sources) with limited sources of microbial origin, that prompted the authors to screen and isolate a new promising bacterial strain ...

Polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) production from tapioca industrial wastewater treatment: Influence of operating conditions on PHA content

The aims of these experiments were treating tapioca processing waste water to produce polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) and removal of chemical oxygen demand (COD). The experiments were conducted in a sequencing batch reactor with a volume of 6 L. The entire experimental condition was anaerobic-aerobic-anaerobic. Experiment 1, 2 and 3 had the first 2 h for feeding time while Experiment 4 had 3 h. Th...

Isolation of Cellulolytic Bacteria

Isolation and characterization of arsenic resistant bacteria from wastewater

The present study proposed the isolation of arsenic resistant bacteria from wastewater. Only three bacterial isolates (MNZ1, MNZ4 and MNZ6) were able to grow in high concentrations of arsenic. The minimum inhibitory concentrations of arsenic against MNZ1, MNZ4 and MNZ6 were 300 mg/L, 300 mg/L and 370 mg/L respectively. The isolated strains showed maximum growth at 37 °C and at 7.0 pH in control...
